Default New cooler for this cpu?

I'm posting this thread on behalf of a friend who is looking for a new cooler. This is his spec:

Intel E8400@3.6+AC Freezer 7 Pro*Abit IP-35 Pro*Sapphire HD 3870
8GB Corsair PC2-6400*Corsair 620watt*Vista64*2x Viewsonic VX912
Yamaha DSP-AX759SE*5x Denon SC-M50 Bookshelfs*XLS200 Sub
320GB Sammy HD322HJ*640GB WD 6401AALS*1TB WD WD10EACS

First thing he would like to know is if the Titan Fenrir will fit his case, he has the antec 900 version 2. He wants good cooling, but he also wants something that looks kinda 'sexy'. He had considered the Tuniq 120 extreme, but doesn't think it'll fit his case, and he is put off by the fan sandwiched in the middle of the cooler. Thanks.

Mugen 2 or the Dark Knight are the best bang for the buck coolers.
Best overall are the Megahalems or a lapped and washer modded True.

If he wants it to look nice, he can get the Megashadow. A little more expensive, same performance, comes with an LGA1156 mount, and looks nicer.

Thanks mate. Yeah, I've mentioned the megashadow, regular megahalem, and the TRUE to him. Dark knight and mugen 2, yep, also good possibility. Will all these fit his antec 900 v2? In particular, he likes the look of the Titan Fenrir, will that fit his case? If not, he'll start considering the others. Cheers.

The fenrir should fit inside of the case, but I still think the megahalems would do better. The HDT location for the heatpipes is kinda odd, since it doesnt have a middle heatpipe running across the cores.
